The world really did end. The interesting thing to me is that 95% of the comments are contrary to the voting, which tells me that there's a "community" side to TL comprised of the people who post/lurk a lot, and then there's a big side of TL that just uses it for news and streams, and clicks polls like this without reading the comments. The people who are more ingrained in the TL community seem to be much older and much more sensible on average. people tend to vent their frustration more often on forums then their delight. and in their frustration and "butthurtness" they vote for Pokemon over Diablo 2". Older? Maybe. More sensible and mature? NO, just no.
You realise Pokemon beating chrono trigger was a far bigger upset than pokemon beating D2?
Seriously guys D2 wasn't all that great and pokemon red/blue was huge in it's day.

Are you trying to convince us that pokemon (FREAKING pokemon) is a superior game to Diablo 2? I dont know what world you are living in.

Blah, latecomer to these polls. Sad to see Unreal Tournament knocked out by Counterstrike early on, to me that should have been the final match =P. I do feel a bit vindicated that it beat out quake though :>

D2 sucked IMO, pokemon was better.That said i voted for chrono trigger over pokemon last round and BG2 over D2 also so i don't really care much anymore.This thing is already a clusterfuck.

I voted for Pokemon over Diablo 2, didn't care for D2, but frankly they're not even close to the same type of game. Pokemon and Chrono Trigger, on the other hand, are close enough to be compared, which is why the Pokemon win is so baffling.

If you have that opinion, you should also know that the vast majority of the gaming community disagrees with you (even if I prefer pokemon over diablo 2)

Maybe some people are voting against Diablo 2 because it is an action game not an RPG? Who knows, who cares.What is certain is some people are voting for D2 solely because blizzard made it, which is pretty sad.

I honestly don't understand what is so strange about people voting for D2. It is one of the most played games in the history of gaming. Almost all of my friends have spent insane amounts of time on it. I've played it on and off since it was released. It is an amazing game in its own right.
Now, Pokemon. That's a game that people like mostly based on nostalgia. Take a look at the gameplay for instance. For a game that is all about battles, it has one of the worst battle systems ever. I mean, it's a dumbed down version of JRPGs. and JRPGs already have simplistic battle systems. It's usually Attack, Magic, Item and then some type of special attack like a limit break. Pokemon doesn't even have that.
One thing is for certain. If I picked up a Pokemon game today, I would be bored out of my mind with the repetitive, simplistic gameplay. I would not enjoy the silly escapism as much as I did when I was younger. D2 however, would still kick ass.

How in the hell is Zelda running against Monkey island :[

They're both dumbed down in RPG terms.Sure D3 was worse since it doesn't even have points to spend in the various tech trees but D2 is still very dumbed down for an RPG, hence why so many people don't even classify it as an RPG.

Well it's the only final that's legit imo. Zelda OOT and Monkey Island are both top 10 games and genre defining masterpieces. Many of the games in the finals are pathetic (NFS underground wtffff).
Also it gives me some consolation that the game that beat RTW is going to beat Dota 2. That game is barely an RTS.

You're obviously no true pokemon master then. I bet you didn't even know the official pokemon rap, or own the sticker collection book and collect all 151. Replaying pokemon red/blue is no more repetitive and 'boring' than D2 btw. Replaying Act 1 is fairly easy but it becomes a mission to replay Acts 2 and 3. Especially if you are used to speed running lol.

Wellp, at least TBS has the best finals we could hope for.
Civilization is pretty damn good but Homm3 deserves the win. WA is definitely up there too.
|
In a perfect world, Baldur's Gate 2 should have won this poll, or at least make the finals. Kinda sad it got matched up vs Diablo 2 which is super popular, not really an rpg.

Well , as I said earlier 99% of the pokemon votes are from people that are butthurt that BG2 lost to D2. You are the 1% that actually thinks pokemon is the better game. D2 gets so many votes because its a great game and a lot of us played it.

I feel like Diablo 2 would be crushing Pokemon... if Diablo 3 hadn't come out and killed everyone's nostalgia.
Blizzard, why are you ruining everything ><
